Per the decision in #12811 (gnodet's recommendation, accepted): stay on plexus-cipher 2.0 on the Maven 3.x maintenance branches.\n\nplexus-cipher 2.1.0 switched PBECipher's KDF from SHA-256(password||salt) to PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1/310000 iterations, making ciphertext incompatible — decrypting credentials from an existing settings.xml would throw BadPaddingException. A breaking change on a patch release is worse than the known weakness.\n\nThis PR adds `org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-cipher >=2.1.0` to the `ignore` lists of the `maven-3.9.x` and `maven-3.10.x` target-branch blocks in `.github/dependabot.yml`. Note this file lives only on master (Dependabot reads its config from the default branch); the matching POM comments are in companion PRs against maven-3.9.x and maven-3.10.x.\n\nNo ignore is added for the default-branch or maven-4.0.x blocks: neither master nor maven-4.0.x depends on org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-cipher at all (they only enforce a ban on the old org.sonatype.plexus a rtifact). Maven 4 is the migration path for stronger crypto. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
